Tank Armor!?

Y tank armor r thinner on the rear n on the top?!

Answer:

As noted above the main threats to a tank are from the front and sides so the armor is thinker there with the top and back being lighter armored because the threats there would be both less and historically the anti-tank weapon would be less powerful. The use of one man portable anti-tank missiles and rockets have changed that to a point but the main enemy of a tank is another tank and increasing the armor all around would greatly increase weight and size making it slower, less maneuverable and larger which also means it is a bigger target and more likely to get hit.
